#407 - Entering the Dark — Episode 4: Darkness as Medicine -- Healing in Places You Avoid
Listen to the UNcivilized Podcast:
Pain doesn't leave the body until it's been felt.
In this episode, I talk about how darkness forced me to feel the stuff I spent years running from--grief, heartbreak, shame. All of it. No therapist. No journal. Just pitch black silence and a willingness to not run.
I open up about what happened when I finally let the pain have a voice, and what healing looked like when there was no one around to witness it. This one's about shadow work, emotional truth, and what's possible when you stop trying to fix yourself and just sit with what is.
If you've been carrying something heavy for too long, listen to this. If you've ever wondered how healing actually happens--this is where it begins.
Cheers,
Traver
